It's cold up there. People want to be outside but it's cold. When stuff is burning they can be outside and it's warmer.

That's expected. They aren't E&P companies, don't have hard assets in country, low risk to make these deals. Just coming in and saying you are willing to trade the oil is much easier than committing to drilling wells, building and repairing platforms, laying/reparing pipeline.

Those aren't E&P companies. They have much lower risk in this situation, no hard assets in country.

These things were commercial grade LRADs we had and were very effective. This was 15 years ago. I’m guessing the US military has much better versions than oil companies have. I would imagine they can mount on a helicopter and pilot could direct at targets.

LRAD. We had them mounted on the rigs in Africa to deal with pirates.
re: Will running once per week be enough to build any base?
Posted by JL on 1/8/26 at 4:13 pm to OysterPoBoy
I just run once per week, worked up from 5K to half marathon in like 6 months. I just do 6 miles once a week now and ramp up from there before a half.
What would your wifes commute be like? We decided to stay in the heights and do private school just because if there was an issue with a kid we wouldn't be an hour away as my wife and I both work downtown. Just something else to consider non-monitary. We decided our sanity of not commuting was worth more than additional money we would save in the burbs.
Oh Houston area?

Every public oil company is buying back shares right now.

Once you get the social security number open a 529 for your new baby. You can make a pretty substantial deposit on your inital opening of the account. Look at your states first to see if there are any advantages, if not look at other states. I live in Texas, no state income tax benefit so opened my kids plans in NY, it had good investment options.
Is real estate your full time job? I tried the rentals but found them to be more of a pain than just set it and forget it in the market. How do you manage that many properties?
Be careful bro. I was like that and got a wicked case of tendonitis in my elbow doing weighted chins. Now I have to take it easy on pretty much ebery pull exercise. It's been months and doc says just to wait it out. not damaged enough for surgery.
Oak tree or big back Billy have lots of dead’s. Oak tree is 3 a week.
Who has made the best picks over the past 3-4 years? I’m ready to gamble.

Do the Roth. Your company match is likely non-Roth so you will have a good balance of both.

Also a bunch of ex-shell people working at Beacon, they probably want their talent back.

Big 20k field in shenendoah just being brought online. A couple of other projects potentially in the pipeline. Shell hasn't had a big discovery in the gulf for a while and less risky to buy small deepwater companies with production than drill exploration wells.
